    You’re not selling wholesale?

    NOTABLE! 
    These phone calls go much easier than you’d expect. After my 3rd one, I had a script and routine down. Just dialed, said my spiel and 33% of the time, closed the sale.

    This is what 60 Pounds (27 KGS) Looks Like

    GOLD! 
    Sugar is actually fine on our diet surprisingly, so if I do a BBQ I’m gonna sugar it up. Artificial sugars are a big trigger for my diet too. So, sorry @Vigilante can’t help you there. Maybe look into paleo BBQ sauces?

    You’re not selling wholesale?

    NOTABLE! 
    When you give your distributor a wholesale price, offer them two prices. FOB and shipped. FOB means they arrange to pick it up and is typically a lower price. Or, figure out what LTL will cost you and add that in. For example, I gave my distributor FOB price of $39 and shipped $41.50. My freight...

    In other news, apparently talking about Europe triggers Russian mail order bride ads on the forum..

    ARTICLE 13: What the Actual Hell Europe?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    FFS. Especially with the GDPR I’m just going to block all traffic from any European country. It’s not worth the headache. We don’t event sell in Europe. Get it together EU!

    F me, I just poked the cat!!

    Here’s a excerpt from the 3rd post on that thread, a teaser for you. - - - I promised myself I would NOT make the same mistake again and pursue a product that I didn't a) understand the market b) understand the wants of the consumer c) actually talk to consumers. I started by finding several...

    Get an insider sub and read my progress thread. This is exactly how my business started. A year later, I’m already selling product to distributors.

    -$25 for Lost Follower?

    Niiiiice. I’m sure there are quite a few people who hate me then.

    Is writing a book fast lane?

    HOT! 
    I never said JK was an overnight success. She grinded for years to get where she was. I’m mostly using her as an example of separation of time from money. Because she doesn’t have to do a single thing at this point, but her books will still continue to pay her for life.

    -$25 for Lost Follower?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Yep. You weren’t posting anything quality so I unfollowed you. Just kidding. I get that every once in a while. Wish I could find out who it was so I could ugly cry at their doorstep and beg them for attention...

    Is writing a book fast lane?

    HOT! 
    J.K. Rowling is a billionaire. Writing books is absolutely fastlane. But, it requires a lot of sales on your part to get it there. Even long after JK steps down from the public spotlight, herself, her estate, her grandchildren, will still get royalty checks in the mail.

    When selling a service to a medical facility, should I be cold calling administrators or the owners?

    Call everyone. Call the janitor. Call the receptionist. Just keep asking people who is responsible for making the decision and you’ll be surprised how far some people will go to help you connect with the right people.

    You might be able to work up a simple web app calculator. Like when you quoted me you could do something like: Enter expected monthly transactionsions (and do $xx.x per transaction, have different tiered pricing) Enter estimated monthly gross revenue (Have set tier pricing per every $10,000)...

    I don’t care about your lead generation

    RANT 
    See, for a service that’s relative to the client, that’s acceptable to not productize your prices. But if you’re doing direct mailer postcards, as with my above example, there’s no reason you can have a simple web app to give me a custom quote based on paper type and quantity.

    Do you have a tattoo?

    HOT! 
    I have 1 tattoo currently I got while in the Marine Corps. Surprised I didn’t leave with more... at the time, the tattoo policy was very damaging to careers, so I made sure to get mine in an inconspicuous location. It’s on my upper bicep and you cannot see it while I’m clothed. I plan on...

    just tell me the f@$&ing Price! Getting high bounce rates? Low conversion rates? Maybe it’s because you don’t list your prices. I know I’m not the only person out there who immediately hits the back button if you make me call for a quote. If you sell a product or service that can easily...

    Sound big or sound authentic?

    Sound authentic to your consumers, sound big to your vendors and competition.

    What do you guys think about this cold email?

    Oh trust me, if I don’t get into Publix Florida Local, you better believe I-4 is getting a billboard right before Lakeland haha

    What do you guys think about this cold email?

    Ask a simple question. One that I’ve used is just asking if I have the right person. “Hello, are you the person responsible for fixing issues with your companies website? If not, could you please forward me to the appropriate person?”
